Thanks for all of the info. I am posing the same question to the European forum, but based on these responses a consistent driving style and a better intercooler and I would be in as good or better shape.

Any recommendations on chips or the intercooler? Don't want to stress out the transmission.

Im curious about all this info as well, I will be joining the diesel community very soon. I just have to find it lol not the most common car out there.

I posted up on here and alot of people reccomend the JBD tuner. Its fully adjustable and cheaper than the european competitors.
